How to Apply for the ORA Resident Parking Permit in Calvià: A Complete Guide
If you're a resident of Calvià, you know how important it is to have a reliable parking space, especially in the regulated ORA (Ordenación y Regulación del Aparcamiento) zones. The ORA system is designed to manage and regulate public parking on the streets, allowing residents to park without worrying about time limits or buying parking tickets. If you're eligible, you can apply for a special resident parking permit, which has great benefits! Here's everything you need to know about how to apply for the ORA Resident Parking Permit.
What is the ORA Resident Parking Permit?
The ORA system regulates surface parking in Calvià, especially during the busy months from April to October. If you live within an ORA zone, you can apply for a "residential" parking permit that exempts you from the time limitations and the requirement to obtain a ticket for parking in your area. This permit makes it easier for residents to park their vehicles without worrying about finding a spot or paying for tickets.
Who Can Apply for the ORA Resident Parking Permit?
The ORA resident parking permit is available to individuals who meet the following conditions:
1. Residency: You must be a property owner or tenant with an address in a designated ORA zone. Only those registered at Calvia Town Hall (empadronado) as living in the regulated streets or sections of streets are eligible for the permit.
2. Vehicle Requirements: The vehicle for which you are applying must:
-
Be registered under the same address where you are officially registered (on your DNI/NIE).
-
Comply with municipal vehicle taxes.
-
Must have a capacity of 9 seats or fewer, including the driver. The permit is unavailable for vehicles over 9 seats, such as vans, trucks, buses, caravans, or trailers.
How to Apply for the ORA Resident Parking Permit
Applying for the ORA resident permit is a straightforward process, but there are a few essential steps you’ll need to follow. Here’s a guide on how to apply:
1. Gather Required Documentation
Before you apply, make sure you have all the necessary documents. You’ll need the following:
-
Application Form: You can request the application form from your local office or download it from the official website. Click here for the application form.
-
Proof of Identity: To prove your identity, you must provide a copy of your DNI/NIE (National Identity Document or Foreigner Identification Number).
-
Vehicle Registration: A copy of your vehicle’s registration document (permiso de circulación) shows that you own the car and it is registered to your address.
-
Payment of Fees: These can be paid by card at the main office. Once paid, please keep the original payment receipt, as you will need this during the second stage, when you collect your permit.
2. Submit Your Application
Once you have all the required documentation, you can submit your application directly at Calvia Town Hall at the “movilidad” department or the main SAC Office (Citizen Help Desk) in Palma Nova, on C/ Joan Mesquida Ferrando 1.

The cost of the ORA resident permit depends on the time of year you apply:
-
Annual Fee: If you apply before June 30th, the fee is €22 for the entire year.
-
Partial Fee: If you apply after June 30th, the fee drops to €10.80 for the remainder of the year.
Once you've submitted your application and paid the fees, you will receive confirmation enabling you to collect your sticker or permit that must be displayed on your vehicle.
4. Collect Your Permit
Once your application is approved, you can pick up your resident parking permit sticker at the Calle Mar Mediterráneo, 14, Polígono de Son Bugadelles office. The office is open during the following hours:

Additional Considerations
-
Non-Eligible Vehicles: As mentioned earlier, vehicles with more than 9 seats, vans, trucks, buses, or any other large vehicles are not eligible for the resident permit. This policy helps ensure parking spaces remain available for regular passenger vehicles.
-
Parking Without the Permit: If you park in an ORA zone without the proper permit, you must follow the regular parking regulations, including time limits and ticket purchases. Failure to do so could result in fines or the need to find alternative parking.
